A plane mirror forms a virtual image. If it's reflected, then the light does not come from the image, and it is virtual.

O What kind of image do you see using a convex mirror?
we see a diminished and virtual image in a convex mirror provided the object is not kept on the focus of the mirror.
Can you get a real image using a plane mirror?
No, to get a real image from a mirror it must be able to focus light (which flat mirrors can't do).
Does a concave mirror create a virtual image?
An virtual image is an image that is formed not by the intersection of two light beams, but it appears that these light beams intersect at some point. The optics of convex mirror doesn't allow the light beams to intersect at any position of object in relation to the mirror. Thus one can never get any real image using convex mirror
What is the difference between using a clear glass and mirror for reflection?
On a sheet of clear glass, you may see a very faint image from the top plane and another very faint image from the bottom plane. The majority of the light will pass through the glass. On a mirror, you will see a throughly strong image from the bottom plane. The very faint image reflected from the top plane is still present, but it is washed out by the image from the bottom plane.
What is the value of focal length of plane mirror?
Infinity.because the distance of object from mirror"p" and the distance from image to mirror"q" are equal,so by using formula1/f=1/p+1/qwe can find the answeras the image of plane mirror is virtual,so"q" is taken negative,so putting values1/f=1/p-1/p(bcz p=q)1/f=0f=1/0and any thing divided by zero is infinity.hope this helps

When can a plane mirror give real point size image?
okay i have a question . do you mean using one or two mirrors ?
What is the advantage of using plane mirror?
The advantages of using plane mirror are they are ofthe same size as the objects
What is a simple way to locate the image in a plane mirror?
A simple way to locate to image in a plane mirror without using light rays is to measure the distance of the object itself to the mirror and then draw a dotted line that is equal to the distance of the object-mirror on the other side. Then connect the sides to the end of the line. i had to do this in science today :)
Can you take a photograph of your image in a plane mirror and focus the camera on both your image and the mirror frame?
Only if you are using a pinhole camera.If you reduce the aperture you will increase the depth of focus, but you can't decrease the aperture to a pinhole on most cameras.
What is meant by magnification is greater than 1?
its nothing it means that the type of mirror you are using is canvex that forms a virtual image and has a power in negative . i think you got it now !
